We’ve all heard of goat yoga – but how about lemur yoga? ‘Lemoga’ as it’s been newly minted, is now being offered at a Lake District hotel.
You will be able to take the class at Armathwaite Hall, near Keswick, which has launched the yoga sessions as part of its wildlife wellness activity programmes.
Lemurs from the adjoining wildlife park will join yoga sessions, and manager of the park, Richard Robinson, said: "When you watch lemurs they do some form of the poses naturally - that typical pose warming their bellies in the sunshine. It seemed to be a really good combination to encourage people to have a go and spend time with a lemur.
"I don't think you ever see an unhappy zoo keeper. We spend all our time with animals. We know how it makes us feel and if we can give a little piece of that to people then great."
Owner of the luxury hotel, Carolyn Graves, said the classes were designed as a method to relieve stress. Graves added: “Lemoga offers our guests the chance to feel at one with nature, at the same time joining in with the lemurs’ playtime.”
While there is no direct booking link for the class, it’s best to email or call up the hotel to find out more. armathwaite-hall.com/
